Lets
lay it all out here
shall we?

Because
I just have this
inexplicable urge
to unfold myself
for you.

I want to
ask you all kinds of
odd and intrusive
questions.  

I want to
climb inside and
pick apart  
everything
that makes you tick.

But,
at the same time
I anticipate
being surprised
by the things
I couldn't know
about you
yet.

I want to wind up
this thread
between us
and see why it's there
and how I can
keep it.

You make my
mind whirl
and my heart beat
so slowly,

Like it's waiting for you
to catch up.

Does this sound insane to you?

Because
I'm the one thinking
these things
and feeling...
Always feeling
when you are
around me.

I see you
guarded
and maybe yearning?

If I had
a white flag
to wave for you
I would.

Though
my insecurity of
being overwhelming and
intense,
keeps us both from
taking those
first steps
toward each other.
